Day 1 - Arrival.

Upon your arrival to Ljubljana airport, you will be taken to Ljubljana and one of the many beautiful hotels for the first nights stay. Ljubljana is the pocket sized Capital city of Slovenia, and what a beautiful city it is! The Ljubljanica river runs through the heart (of this city), and is lined by cafes and restaurants on both sides, perfect to relax into your holiday with a glass of chilled local white wine, or local beer, and watch the world go by.This is a safe, friendly, joy of a city, with everywhere being within walking distance. Castles to visit, markets to browse, ice-creams to eat!
Slovenia's master of early-modern, minimalist design, Jože Plečnik, graced Ljubljana with beautiful bridges and buildings as well as dozens of urban design elements such as pillars, pyramids and lamp posts, which exist solely to make the city even prettier.
 

Day 2 - Ljubljana to Bled - 56km

Today we ride out of Ljubljana, following the river using the pedestrianised route through the city. We cross multiple bridges and eventually reach the open countryside. From here you start to experience the real Slovenia! Rolling soft hills, small well tended villages. From here, be prepared to experience green as you may never have seen it before!. Slovenia is so safe, crime free, people so proud of their gardens and homes. It is simply stunning!

Day 3 - Bled to Kranjska Gora - 36km

Bled is like a fairytale story, no matter what the weather, it is a magical place. But leave the beauty of Bled behind we must, and wind our cycling way along the recently paved trail of the Krma valley, This is so quiet, you often only have the cows peacefully grazing for company. Such peace and tranquility begins to wrap around you like a happy dream, and you feel the stresses and strains of everyday life begin to ebb away... All of a sudden its lunchtime, and our break today is in a breathtaking location. Having enjoyed a homemade lunch, we climb a short sharp hill before a downward run to Mojstrana, with more breathtaking views as we go. From here we follow the trail to the left, stopping to marvel at the Pericnik waterfall, and then on to Kranjska Gora on the cycle path which follows the crystal clear blue river.
Your overnight at the end of this day is a fabulous, pretty as a picture, guesthouse with restaurant, in breathtaking Kranjska Gora, with views of mountains, whichever way you look!

Day 4 - Kranjska Gora to Bovec - 54km

This morning we follow the cycling path heading into Italy through Travisio and onto the Predihl Pass

As you would expect from being in an Alpine region, the scenery is spectacular. And just when you thought it couldn't get any more so, it does! Our descent of 26km into the Soca valley leads us eventually to cycle alongside the Soca river which has to be seen to be believed! Such a deep emerald colour it almost seems unreal. Your accommodation that night is a quaint family run Hotel, where you can continue to fall in love with the breathtaking scenery from the balcony, which perches above the river itself! Also only three hundred meters away is

Day 5 - Bovec to Most Na Soci - 37km

Todays ride very easy, yet again utterly gorgeous. I can not put into words how pristine this little country is. We reach the lovely town of Tolmin and take a slight detour to

Day 6 - Most Na Soci to Capriva Del Friuli (Italy) - 52km

We begin the day gently, winding our way through vineyards and ancient villages, far from the madding crowd. And then we go really rural! The landscape becomes rough, covered with heather, bracken and olive groves, hilly and wild. Old castle ruins barely standing, the only invader now being nature. This landscape is in such contrast to previous days, it is as if we are now in a different country altogether! Lunch is back in Slovenia this day and then after, as we cycle back to Italy and closer to Trieste, tantalising glimpses of the Adriatic appear, glittering jewel that it is. Today we stay and Dine in this many generations familly owned Wine House, Which means? 😉

Day 6 - Vipava to Skocjan - 49km

Totally diferent landscape yet again. The land much harder now and the people even more frendlie. Today we head for
https://www.park-skocjanske-jame.si/en/
This route has hardly been touched by tourism and the caves are incredile

Day 7 - Skocjan to Piran - 51km

Last days ride totally diferent scenery as we aproach the Adriatic sea and the tiny 46km of Slovenian coast line. Once reaching Koper the sea is meters away on a beautiful car free designated Bike path. Then we reach Isola where we can ride down towards the famous salt pans of Piran. Piran 90 percent pedestrian, the perfect way to end a superb trip.

Maybe an extra night at Piran before we transfer you ?
